Review:

In his passionate defense of wilderness and wild-ness, Edward Abbey is always worth reading for those who value a wolf's howl more than the ka-chink! of a cash register, and no matter what the subject, Cactus Ed always shoots from the hip. This collection of essays is no different, and contains the invaluable "A Writer's Credo," wherein Abbey tells would-be scribes to rock the boat and make a stand, else the noble craft is reduced to a mess of pottage, and the muse has no reason for staying.

About the Author:

Edward Abbey was born in Home, Pennsylvania in 1927 and died on March 14, 1989 in Tucson. Among his works are A Voice Crying in the Wilderness and Confessions of a Barbarian.
